Leng Pan looked at the thousands of moving red dots before asking, "Do you want to connect the gate to the command subject inside the horde?"
"If the subject carries alien technology, the anchor might accept its signal as a beacon. We could open the gate near it, then order the zombies through."
"You make it sound simple."
"It is not simple. We are standing inside an enemy vessel, surrounded by alien soldiers, while trying to operate a gate neither of us understands."
Leng Pan moved closer and rested her head briefly against his shoulder. "I was beginning to worry that my husband had become too confident after the system accepted us as operators."
Lu Zhen slipped an arm around her waist. "I am confident that we will find a way home. Everything between this vessel and our family is only an inconvenience."
"A rather large inconvenience."
"I have dealt with difficult business partners before."
